[QUOTE="Corbic, post: 16471886, member: 171475"] It's hard to do direct inflation calculations. A top model Hemi E-Body was $5,400 in 1970. The Hemi engine as $850 alone. So while $5,400 today is only $38,000, it's not an apples to oranges comparison. Of the 76k Challengers sold in 1970, only 356 had Hemi engines because it was seen as ungodly expensive. Average house cost $27k back then ($180k today) compared to $320k today. Funny thing is, people cry about stagnant wages and everything getting expensive, average household income in 1970 was $8,500 ($30,000 today) compared to today's $64,000...
